Just as our new Public Health Lab - which was built on key lessons learned during COVID - was set to open, the necessary funding for its operation was just pulled by DOGE/HHS.
That operation, critical to safety and public health in San Diego.

Today Pathoplexus announces the inclusion of a new viral pathogen: mpox (previously known as monkeypox).
Within the context of the current mpox outbreaks and ongoing health concerns, Pathoplexus aims to support sequence sharing to improve both understanding and response.
